Maher to AOC: If ‘Woke’ Is Already Passe, What’s the New Word for Describing ‘the Plainly, Insane Excesses of the Left That’s Not Liberalism?’
EXCERPT:
MAHER: “James Carville knew how to win. And he blamed the Democratic losses this November 2nd on stupid wokeness. To which AOC fired back that 'wokeness' is 'a term almost exclusively used by older people these days, so that should tell you all you need to know.' What? This is a term folks like you brought out very recently and had been proudly displaying it every march since. Just last year, 'The Guardian' declared 'woke' the word of our era. I guess they didn’t get the memo from the Mean Girls Club.
(Laughter)
'We don’t use that emoji anymore! Woke? Please! We say 'fetch' now.'
(Laughter and Applause)
What a great strategy. Never missing an opportunity to remind voters how lame and clueless and hopelessly uncool they are, especially since those are the ones who actually vote. But okay, fine, what word would you like us to use for the plainly insane excesses of the left that are not liberalism, but something completely different? Because you can’t have that word 'liberal' from us and think it should cover things like canceling Lincoln and teaching third graders they're oppressors. That’s all your new thing.”
